This is Darlow's growing in bright shade. It get's no real direct sun at all but has managed to spread to 6ft wide and 7ft tall in three seasons. It just blooms away.
This is a free-standing specimen of Darlow's Enigma, grown in full sun. Approximately 8 years old, it currently stands 10 feet tall and 12 feet across. It received no care other than watering during the driest part of the Summer. It does not have any support: it is fully capable of being self-supporting when grown in full sun.

A bouquet picked for Christmas 2010 - flowers have especially long stems this time of year. Winter is the only time I get to enjoy these flowers as they burn in the summer here in Houston.
